[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As an electric cooperative, OEC is a community-focused organization that works to efficiently deliver affordable, reliable, and safe energy to our member-consumers. It may seem odd that a utility would go to great lengths to educate our member-consumers on ways to save energy and therefore spend less on their monthly bill. But we are led by an exceptional Board of Directors composed of consumers like you who belong to the communities we serve. Under their leadership we work tirelessly to find new ways to best serve you.

- Pork Shoulder or Pork Butt
- BBQ sauce
- Broth (we used vegetable)

Place the Pork Shoulder in the pot and submerge with broth. Cover and cook according to the directions (4 hours for CrockPot, 45 minutes for InstantPot). You will know it’s ready when it falls off the bone (and smells exquisite). Remove from the pot and shred with forks.
